Theatre play 'To The Death' needs a new design

Entertainment & The Arts

'To The Death' is a dark comedy about 3 flatmates who are trying to kill the boyfriend of a 4th flatmate. It will be performed in December at Newtown Theatre in Sydney. It is being put on stage by young semi-professionals.

We would like to have a poster designed that would catch the attention of theatre-goers. The synopsis: Rowena, Eric, Sasha and Vale were living in their perfect house share. Until Adam, Vale’s boyfriend, entered the scene. Disgusted by his seemingly violent nature and worried about their friend, Rowena, Eric and Sasha plot to murder him. When the group decides to include the ignorant Adam in their plans, things turn both humorous and awry. Black comedy To the Death toys with relationship dynamics and misrepresentation, reminding us that things might not always be as they appear. Details about the poster: It would have to feature our tagline: "Ever had a housemate you wanted to kill?" Other information would also have to be present on the poster. These include: "A play by Maddy Butler" Showing at Newtown Theatre, corner Bray and King Streets Tickets $28/25 November 30 - December 11 Tues - Sat 8pm, Sun 2pm For tickets and enquiries: www.newtowntheatre.com.au The director has indicated the poster could have a sketch of the 3 flatmates trying to kill another. This would conjure idea of children (ie young adults who are acting like children) and the comedic side as well. The stick figure idea is attached. Another idea: "TO THE DEATH" and in the first O a gunshot with blood seeping out. Something like that. Or TO THE DEATH with different colours seeping through for the whole poster. Although the attached sketch and the 'blood seeping out' are our ideas, we are also interested to see what the synopsis evokes in a designer. So let your imagination run wild. This poster will be seen around Sydney and featured in most theatre magazines as the artwork that represents it.

The target audience is theatre-goers regardless of any factor. Keep in mind the play is being put on stage by cast and crew mostly under the age of 26 though.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets.
